The sequence of amino acids that makes up a protein molecule is determined by the sequence of?
The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids in the protein. This is determined by the sequence of bases in the DNA ie by the genetic code. Each group of three bases in DNA codes for one amino acid in the protein ie it is a triplet code.
How do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.
What is the three letter sequence that codes for an amino acid?
One letter accounts for one nitrogen base, which is part of a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
Is DNA a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?
The actual process is pretty complicated. If you're just looking for a simple overview, the answer is that any given sequence of three bases codes for a specific amino acid. Since there are four (basically...) bases, that means there are 4x4x4 = 64 possible combinations. That's more than the number of biologically important amino acids by quite a bit, so it's actually normal for more than one sequence to code for the same amino acid. Also, certain particular combinations are used for signalling (start here, stop here) rather than for amino acid selection.
How nitrogenous bases code for amino acids?
Yes, amino acids contain nitrogen in their amine group.

What determines what proteins DNA code for?
The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule - that's how it all links together! So, the sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
How do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.

What does bases have to do with DNA?
DNA is a polynucleotide, made up of nucleotides. It has a phosphate-sugar backbone. (The sugar is deoxyribose). And, 'internal' are nitrogenous bases that are strung together (by hydrogen bonds) to complementary nitrogenous bases forming something like the rungs of a ladder. The DNA molecule is wound into a double helix. There are 4 types of the bases, adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine, abbreviated A, C, G and T. A triplet of bases 'codes' for a single amino acid. Thus a whole string of triplets codes for a sequence of amino acids, a polypeptide. A gene is defined as the code for a single polypeptide. Thus, these bases have a lot to do with DNA.

How many amino acids will be in the polypeptide that is formed when uacguacguucaacu is translated?
Five. Each codon consists of a sequence of three nitrogen bases, and each codon codes for a specific amino acid, or a start or stop command.
What is the three nucleotide sequence found on the messenger RNA that codes for an amino acid called?
It is a codon.The word was coined in 1962 by Sydney Brenner for a group of three nucleotides (or their bases) in DNA that code for one amino acid. Since then the word has also been extended to apply to messenger RNA.
Amino acid sequence for blue eyes?
The blue eyes are traits, and hence comes from DNA not amino acid.Correct, but the codons in the DNA sequence are translated to RNA which then codes for a sequence of amino acids to create proteins. So in reality, eye colour is determined by a sequence of amino acids which is dictated by the DNA sequence.
How does the code in DNA relate to the amino acid sequence in a protein?
Only a small proportion of the genome codes for protein sequence. These regions of protein coding sequence reside within genes and are called exons. Within the exons, a group of three bases (known as a codon) will code for one amino acid. There is some degeneracy in the code; that is, for some amino acids there is more than one codon (group of three bases) that will code for a specific amino acid (see codon table for specific translation).
